Respected @nsitharaman ji and @FinMinIndia ,
Suggestion 1 of 3 for strengthening India's capital markets:
Long-term capital gains tax on listed equities should be abolished.
A long-term shareholder is not a speculator but a provider of patient risk capital. By investing in and holding businesses, investors help companies expand, create jobs, innovate and contribute to India's economic growth.
India requires enormous amounts of long-term capital to build world class enterprises, infrastructure and global champions. Tax policy should encourage households to move savings from passive assets, including imported stores of value such as gold, into productive businesses that create jobs, generate tax revenues and build national wealth.
The appreciation in a company's value is not created in isolation. During its growth journey, the government already collects corporate tax, GST, income tax from employees, customs duties, stamp duties and numerous other levies. Long-term capital gains are often the final outcome of economic activity that has already generated substantial tax revenues.
Most importantly, tax policy should clearly distinguish between investment and speculation. A long term shareholder is a partner in wealth creation, not merely a participant in market transactions. Tax policy should reward long-term ownership of productive businesses and distinguish it from short-term speculation.
India needs more patient capital, more entrepreneurship and more long term investing. Abolishing long-term capital gains tax on listed equities would be a powerful step in that direction.
Respectfully submitted.

Piece of advice: if you are a parent, watch out what the Finns are doing and copy them. It's one of the few countries that pays closer attention to their youth. They observe, study, and adjust all the time!
For example, they are now gradually reversing their decade-long, tech-heavy education model to combat declining cognitive performance and severe classroom distractions. Schools are scaling back on devices in favor of printed textbooks, handwriting instruction, and pen-and-paper assignments.

In the early 1700s, a tiny, cash-strapped theological school called the Collegiate School of Connecticut was on the verge of financial collapse. It desperately needed money to construct its very 1st permanent building in New Haven.
The school's trustees reached out to a wealthy London merchant named Elihu Yale. Yale had spent nearly 30 yrs working for the East India Company at Fort St. George in Madras (now Chennai) looting India & eventually rising to become the Governor-President of the settlement.
While in India, Elihu Yale amassed an immense personal fortune through private trading: specifically in Golconda diamonds, high-grade textiles & spices & by participating in the Indian Ocean slave trade. He was eventually ousted from his post by the East India Company for rampant illegal profiteering & corruption.
In 1718, responding to the school's plea for help, Elihu Yale sent a massive cargo shipment from London to Boston. The shipment did not contain cash. It contained:
- 9 large bundles of exotic Indian textiles (including fine muslins, calicos & silks from Madras).
- 417 books.
- A portrait of King George I.
The school sold the Indian textiles & goods in Boston for the staggering sum of £800, which at the time, was enough money to completely fund the construction of their brand-new wooden college building. In pure gratitude for this South Asian windfall, the trustees officially renamed the entire institution Yale College.
Yale University would literally not exist w/o India. Its very name, its 1st major building & its foundational survival were directly paid for by wealth extracted from India.

I moved to Ahmedabad way back in 2011 or 2012 I think. I took a rented flat in Maninagar. On day 1 I went to buy a rechargeable torch etc. Shopwala asks why do you need it? I said for power cuts. He says you seem new here. Adani Electricity is here and you'll never see a power cut. I left it and forgot an year I lived before moving to Mumbai I never saw a power cut. During rains too nope. So yes. And now from 6+ months of stay UGVCL also I saw 2-3 power cuts but those were due to roads work etc going on which was pre planned.

Ahmedabad is not a top city. It only offers - 24X7 Electricity - Best public infrastructure currently in India - Connectivity across the globe - Ease of doing business compared to rest of India - No language barriers - Minimal to lowest crime rate - PNG supply line since 2 decades (approx) - No political influence in day 2 day life - Cost of living lesser than all metros with 4X better infra than metros. - 2 Balconies mandatory in every appartment - Cheaper real estate compared to other Top cities. We don't believe in 1HK and 1BHK concept but lately we are getting influenced by metros. Hope we learn its a mistake. Apologies for comparing Ahmedabad to top cities.

Why you shouldn't write like AI
Because it's shit writing. Like absolutely bland. It's not this, it's that. Question mark? No, this is the answer. It's like eating, I don't know, sawdust. My apologies to sawdust.
It's late at night and essays that I'm reading have the exact same crappy footprint. I've learnt to live with the long hyphen. It's garish. It's out there telling you that hello, uncle, this is AI, but you know what, it might be interesting anyhow. And I've tried to give it a shot, but somewhere along the line it's like the whole paragraph has been attacked by Dementors and they took all the soul from the written words and it's left with these alphabets that juxtapose just enough to make grammatical sense.
Yes, your actual writing might be terrible. Or you don't have the patience to type endlessly into the ether, like I do, or like I love to do. I just love to write, so maybe I'm possessed with this demon that every piece of writing needs to have a soul. Maybe it's my unnecessary adulation, no, love, for prose. Too much prose, that too. Or to make that spelling mistak so you just know it's human. Hoo-man.
We are all government documents now. Devoid of colour, bereft of whatever bereft means to be bereft of. AI has perhaps made writing easier for a lot of people. And for technical stuff, it's all fine. You're expecting to be bored to the bottom of your stomach, so some outrageous terms, no matter how often they're used, ease the pain a little.
But that opinion piece which needs you to make the words be alive, it sucks when AI renders it into this communist level everyone-must-have-the-same-writing blandness. I don't think I want the extra long words - that is just showing off or winning at scrabble - but I do want a little punch in the sentence. The feeling that you said what you actually felt. The occasional slip, the authenticity. Maybe it's just me, but I don't care, this whole tweet is just me anyways.
Whatever it is, I swear, I will be nicer when it's got that hoo-man in it. Even to the nasty trolls, who I will mute with a smile because they wrote it themselves.
You have to give me one late night rant about nothing. I do spend most of the days telling governments and the RBI what to do, so I'll bloody well rant about what I want to read once in a while.

After Partition in 1947, there was a rampant killing of Hindus and rape of girls in Pakistan.
Every train from Lahore carried corpses, with dogs and vultures hovering over them. Nehru appealed on the radio to Hindus living in refugee camps to maintain patience and peace.
The next day, he accompanied Indira to the camps.
There, an 80-year-old man, trying to convey his message to Nehru, touched Indira. Nehru immediately slapped him.
The old man was a well-known businessman from Lahore who was facing the hardships of times. After receiving the slap, he laughed out loud and said, "Indira is like my granddaughter because you yourself are my son's age.
You became enraged at the mere touch of my hand, and the Muslims abducted my three young grand-daughters in front of me, yet you say I should forget everything..."
Hearing this, Nehru left the scene, taking Indira with him.

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.
Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.
Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."
Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.
They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.
One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.
That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

Although the concept of ritual slaughter in itself is dark enough, there’s something singularly sinister about how Islam approaches it when it mandates the annual reenactment of Abraham’s story.
On the surface, it looks like a genuinely moral idea that the sacrificial victim must be something dear to you, but scratch the surface and you’ll see a whole apparatus that desensitizes you to human emotions like a potent drug.
Don’t get me wrong, many living religions have ritual slaughter at its doctrinal core. Vedic and Shakti traditions have bali, for instance. But while it requires specific animals, it does not structurally mandate that the victim be personally dear, nor is it a test of the worshipper’s relinquishment.
Christianity and Judaism, neither practices mandatory animal sacrifice today. Judaism suspended it after the Temple fell in 70 AD. Christianity flipped the concept entirely: God sacrificed His “beloved son” as the ultimate, final offering. Buddhism and Jainism are all about nonviolence anyway. As for Zoroastrianism, blood offering used to be a thing in the early Indo-Iranian cult but has already been obsolete since the days of Zoroaster. Sikhism, again, no. Shinto and Taoism too, no.
In sum, while other traditions abandoned the practice or use it strictly for divine propitiation, Islam uniquely retains it as an active, mandatory exercise in giving up what you personally hold dear. This has ramifications.
When you do this over and over again, for years, for generations, without question, without second thoughts, you become immune to the trappings of human emotions. Killing an innocent becomes that must easier for you than it would be for a fellow human. You start valuing life dangerously less than you would as a human being.
Now, while some reformists might argue that interpreting qurbani as mandatory slaughter is wrong and that it just means relinquishment in general, that isn’t true.
You cannot substitute the animal with an inanimate object, vegetation, or even by donating the equivalent amount of money to charity. You cannot “slaughter” your favorite cucumber, Allah won’t accept it. You cannot donate your entire life’s earnings to a homeless bum, Allay won’t take that either.
The slaughter, the slow, maximally agonizing butchery is a non-negotiable and surah al-Kawthar makes it clear as daylight. As does al-Hajj. And al-An‘am.
And all such roads lead to the one single inevitable.
Death. Terrorism. Cannon fodder. Human shield. And everything life-defying you could possibly think of.

IndiaToday@IndiaToday
In a major escalation, actor Ranveer Singh has been officially banned by the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) amid an ongoing row over his abrupt exit from Farhan Akhtar's Don 3. The federation took up the matter last week and announced its final decision to the media during a press conference on Monday.
